Abstract

Introduction and Aims: Considering high prevalence of HEPATITIS B
virus (HBV) in Iran and need for its PREVENTION, determination of causes
and RISK FACTORS can help health policy makers in control of disease.
Materials and Methods: All BLOOD DONORS of Tehran city from April 1997
to March 2000 were studied in a case control design. HBsAg positive
donors who were referred to hepatitis consultation office in Tehran blood
transfusion center (2447 donors) were compared with 2425 HbsAg
negative donors. Demographic factors and high risk behaviors were
studied in both groups and in some subjects HBsAg status in donors
mother and spouse was studied.
Results: Factors predicting HBV infection included family history of
positive HBsAg, history of blood transfusion, male gender, history of
hospitalization, history of unsafe sex and living in city area. There was a
significant difference among cases and controls regarding HBsAg status
in donors mother and spouse.
Conclusions: Because of the role of mothers and other family
members in transmission of HBV infection, it is important to consider
screening of whole family, pregnant women and whole family vaccination
for all HBsAg subjects. Adding notice to blood derivatives screening and
safe work in hospitals are important steps in HBV PREVENTION. Neonates,
couples and at risk people vaccination is another effective step in HBV
prevention
